GSU Chair’s Message

Finding your place in University is a challenging task. Getting involved, discovering your passion, and immersing yourself in the school community can be a key part of your experience if you allow it to. The SFU Geography Student Union (GSU) hopes to provide a unique, welcoming space to achieve all of these. To us, the GSU represents friendship, progress, and making the most out of your time at SFU.

We define our own time here. All Geography majors, minors, certificate students, and Geography course-takers are members of the GSU. We provide a common room for their use, fun social and fundraising events, and a year-end trip that always takes us on a fun journey.

Within the first year of undergraduate Geography, it becomes clear how complex, diverse, and endless the field seems. While you discover your academic interests, we hope to balance it by creating a safe, inclusive space where you can relax, study, and socialize. There are plenty of ways to get involved year-round!

This year we have welcomed many younger students into our executive team, transitioning into a new era. We have a wide vision on how to improve things, and hope to reach more students than ever with every event and social media post. We are here to collaborate with you, and foster your voice.

We hope to see you in meetings, in the common room, and in class. You can connect with us on social media or drop us an email at geog-pres@sfu.ca to learn more. Make sure to check out our photo catalogs from the last two Experiential Learning Trips to Whistler and Portland.
